Honoring Veterans Through Service
Veterans Day is a moment to honor those who served. URB, Inc honored the veterans of the Eddie Beard Vet House by being of service to them.
Even before Veterans Day, Deerfield, Illinois-based United Relief Foundation has been uniting businesses and organizations in the service of the men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces, and URB, Inc. answered the call of service hosting a Veterans Day honor lunch for Eddie Beard Vet House (EBVH) veterans
Wanting to provide the EBVH veterans a memorable meal and moments, URB chief operating officer Samantha (Sam) Blazey facilitated the Veterans Day lunch with EBVH director Halbert Williams and worked with a private Chef to provide a fabulous feast.
“To honor Eddie Beard Vet House veterans’ service to our country by being of service to them on Veterans Day was very rewarding,” expressed Sam. “After giving so much in service and sacrifice, EBVH veterans were thanking us when we were trying to thank them.”
